    Man, Caruso . . . what a gut punch. I think this reflects very poorly on the front office. I also kinda wonder where LeBron was on this but he's not actually the GM. This ultimately lands at Rob's feet. I know a lot of people here think he's proven himself some virtuoso, but I've never really felt that way. I think we've won despite him, but I'm not here to litigate this. I'm just genuinely bummed we let Caruso walk. Feels like a Jim/Mitch era move.

    So if we can't pull off some sort of sign and trade with Schroder, we will have 10 people on our 15 man roster making the league minimum. Do I have that right?

    They can sign me for the minimum. I’m old, I’ll fit right in.

    They need to sign a solid PF to backup AD. We have nobody rn.

    Edit; Millsap would be a great option who made enough money in his career.

    I think there was a tweet saying Mavs can free up 18m. Think they are trying to land Dragic though.

    Money is dried up. Schroder either takes a massive pay cut from what he thought he is worth, or he works with the Lakers.

    Maybe Pelinka is serving a little bitter dish by not talking to them and forcing Schroder and his agent to make the first call to help them.

    OPJ to GSW, means GS is probably no longer an option for Patty Mills.

    But Dinwiddie to WAS probably makes Brooklyn go harder for Mills.

    Curious if the Dinwiddie move gets folded into our trade and what it means for Kuz/KCP

    I don't know what's in Schroder's head, he is a weird little dude.

    Grizz and Thunder. If he wants to take a 1 year deal and try to earn it next summer they both have space but neither will want to commit to him long term.

    Actually think he'd be a good fit as Ja's backup.

    Wow, I was iffy on OPJ for the MLE, but man if we could have swept him up for the minimum that would’ve been huge.
